About Char
Char Midkiff is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 14 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, depression, self-esteem, coping with life changes, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and related issues listed in her specialties. Char speaks English and accepts international clients.
She uses a practical, structured approach informed by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and client-centered methods. Sessions emphasize identifying thoughts and habits that keep problems going. She also uses mindfulness and solution-focused tools to build concrete skills for everyday situations.
Char draws on life experience alongside her clinical work. She has navigated blended family dynamics and caregiving roles, and she has personal experience with cancer and end-of-life support. Those experiences inform how she talks about grief, major life changes, and caregiving stress with clients.
Sessions typically focus on setting clear goals, trying specific strategies between meetings, and reviewing what helps. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at practical change rather than abstract theory. Clients work together with Char to track what works and adjust plans as needed.
Her background includes years of public service while completing graduate education, followed by a transition into counseling work. That path influences her practical, solution-oriented style and attention to daily life demands. Char offers guidance for people navigating emotional challenges, life transitions, behavioral concerns, and questions about purpose and direction.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Char uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thought patterns and test small behavior changes. CBT is practical and often focuses on short-term steps for anxiety, depression, and stress.She also uses client-centered techniques that focus on how the person experiences their situation. This approach emphasizes listening, reflecting, and working at a pace the client prefers. Mindfulness therapy is used to build awareness of present-moment sensations and emotions, which can reduce reactivity and help with stress and grief.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, try methods, and adjust plans based on what helps. That way the approach can shift as needs and priorities change.
